Sandberg 26 - 1 Team Available! Topic

You all may be waiting to get into the AL East, but it's an exclusive club. You might as well grab one of the other teams. Join now and I'll tell you the story of the East Siders and the 25 season run with no changes.

Dazzling defensive flair and a tremendous knack for power enabled Ryne Sandberg to join the list of greats at second base. As the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1984, Sandberg led the Chicago Cubs to their first postseason appearance since 1945. His amazing range and strong, accurate throwing arm led to nine consecutive Gold Glove Awards at the keystone position and helped him pace NL second basemen in assists seven times, and in fielding average and total chances four times each. With the bat, Sandberg launched 282 career home runs, and in 1990, he become the first second baseman since Davey Johnson in 1973 to hit 40 homers in a single season.
